Judaea, Bar Kokhba Revolt. Æ Medium Bronze (10.33 g), 132-135 CE. Year 1 (132/3 CE). 'Simon, Prince of Israel' (Paleo-Hebrew), palm branch within wreath. rev. 'Year one of the redemption of Israel' (Paleo-Hebrew), wide lyre with five strings. Hendin 1377; Mildenberg 26 (O1/R7); TJC 223. Dark earthen patina. About Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $1,500 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. The reverse type of this middle bronze denomination of the first year of the Bar Kokhba War is commonly identified as a nevel, a stringed instrument thought to have been similar to the Greek chelys. Although the kinnor - a related instrument similar to the Greek kithara - was prescribed as an instrument to be played in the Jerusalem Temple, the nevel had an even more important status in some rabbinical Jewish traditions. It was said that the world was actually sung into existence to the accompaniment of a perfect 22-stringed nevel. The reverberating notes of these strings subsequently became the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Considering the messianic flavor of the Bar Kokhba revolt one wonders whether the nevel type alludes to a new creation for Judaea free from Roman oppression. The palm branch on the obverse may perhaps celebrate the early victories of the Bar Kokhba rebels during "year one of the redemption of Israel."

Julius Marinus, father of Philip I. Æ (9.17 g), died before AD 244. Philippopolis in Trachonitis. ΘEΩ MAPINΩ, bare-headed and draped bust of Julius Marinus right, supported on wings of eagle standing right. rev. ΦIΛIΠΠOΠOΛITΩN KOΛΩNIAΣ, S - C across field, Roma standing facing, head left, holding patera and long spear; at her feet to right, shield. Spijkerman 2; SNG ANS 1402. Extremely Rare. Black patina with bluish overtones. One of the finest examples we have seen. Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $1,500 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. Save his name, little is known of Philip's father, Julius Marinus. His son had him deified and the local authorities began striking coins depicting his image being borne to heaven on the back of an eagle, a classical motif indicating apotheosis. The coinage was quite limited, consisting of only two bronze denominations. It was confined to the immediate vicinity of Philippopolis, though the legend S C on the reverse indicates the issue had been authorized by the Roman Senate, perhaps as a show of respect for the new emperor. Coins of Julius Marinus remain quite rare today and the issue is one of the few examples of a third century Roman coin depicting a personage who was not a Roman emperor or empress.
Lot 281
Judaea, Bar Kokhba Revolt. Æ Medium Bronze (10.94 g), 132-135 CE. Year 1 (132/3 CE). 'Simon, Prince of Israel' (Paleo-Hebrew), seven-branched palm tree with two bunches of dates. rev. 'Year one of the redemption of Israel' (Paleo-Hebrew), vine leaf on tendril. Hendin 1378; Mildenberg 45 (O2/R10); TJC 222. Nice earthen-brown patina. Choice Very Fine. Estimated Value $1,000 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. The vine leaf reverse of this middle bronze denomination of the first year of the Bar Kokhba War takes its inspiration from the prutot of the earlier failed Jewish Revolt (66-73 CE) that employed a similar type. In this way the Bar Kokhba War was presented as a continuation of the earlier fight and lent it legitimacy in historical terms. The palm tree was a symbol of Judaea going back at least to the time of the Jewish War since it regularly appears on Roman coins in conjunction with Jewish captives under Vespasian and his successors. The seven branches consciously recall the seven arms of the menorah, perhaps the Jewish symbol par excellence. The palm tree was also prominent on coins of the Galileean city of Sepphoris, which became an important center of rabbinical Judaism after the Bar Kokhba War.

Well struck and free from the porosity that usually accompanies this popular issue. Delicately toned. Choice Very Fine. Estimated Value $2,500 From the Dionysus Collection. Ex Roma E3 (30 November 2013), lot 49. Found by colonists from Rhodes and Crete in 688 BC, Gela was located on the south-eastern coastal plain of Sicily along the banks of the river Gela, from which it reaped a fertile soil and bountiful harvests. By the early fifth century, the wealth generated from its hinterland allowed the city's early tyrants to expand militarily at the expense of its neighbors, and Gela soon dominated several cities, amongst them Leontinoi, Naxos, Zankle-Messana and Syracuse. The tyrant Gelon, after conquering Syracuse, moved there, leaving his brother Hieron I in charge of Gela. After Gelon's death in 478 BC, Hieron took control of Syracuse and left the city of Gela to Polyzelos. Little is known of Polyzelos, but it was during his tyranny that the city began striking tetradrachms, replacing the earlier didrachms that had been the principal denomination in use at Gela. The charioteer on the obverse is copied from Syracuse, but shows the Charioteer of Delphi, one of the most well-known bronze statues from antiquity and which Polyzelos dedicated to Apollo of Delphi in order to celebrate the victory of his chariot in the Pythian Games of either 478 or 474. The reverse reuses the type from the city's didrachm coinage, and depicts the forepart of the river-god Gelas. The immediate impression when first looking at this particular coin is that the detail is exceptional, and that the dies were engraved by a truly skilled artist. Indeed, the dies used to strike this coin are the first of the series, so it stands to reason that the artist was perhaps contracted by Polyzalos himself, who sought out the finest masters in order to commemorate both his rule over his city and his Pythian victory with a new denomination.
